The good news is that the Cubs currently have the second-best record in the National League. The bad news is that puts them in second in their own division and in the first Wild Card spot. The Brewers have gone 14-4 this month, including an 11-game winning streak, and while the Cubs’ 11-7 mark in July is good for a .611 win percentage, it’s also got them looking up at the Brewers in the division standings.
Baseball’s gonna baseball.
However, with one week to go before the trade deadline, now is a particularly good time to look for ways to upgrade the Cubs roster heading down the stretch.
